reach minus ten in overnight reach minus ten in northern scotland. tomorrow, we are going to continue with that north—westerly wind direction, and so it is north—west areas of the british isles that will see the majority of the showers, which will continue to come through as snow across northern and western scotland, northern ireland, the north—west of england, wales where tonight and tomorrow we could see accumulations building over modest hills but snow low down, after that freezing cold start, temperature also barely get above freezing and indeed probably across parts of scotland will stay below in places, for wednesday, the north—westerly wind continue to push showers in, maybe a few more getting down to wales and south—west england. maybe a few showers coming in, to the east coast of england but it is another cold day, temperatures perhaps coming up an odd degree, you probably won't notice much in the way of change given the cold winds, but, if you really hate the cold weather, there is better news, we have mild south—westerly winds, set
6:31 pm
to return and by the weekend, although there will cloud round with splashes of rain, for the majority temperatures will again be pushing backin temperatures will again be pushing back in to double figures so it will turn milder, that is how the weather is shaping up. thank you. thank you. and that's bbc news at six on monday the 16th of january. you can keep up with all the latest developments on bbc website. from the six team it's goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm gavin ramjaun. raducanu's off to a win at the australian open — but a tough opponent awaits in the second round. steve in the second round. borthwick names his first six nations steve borthwick names his first six nations squad as the man he replaced, eddiejones, returns to his homeland. and after a dramatic masters final, judd trump celebrates another snooker major. we'll be reflecting on his win at ally pally. also coming up in the programme... we catch up with the golfer defying the odds to claim victory
6:32 pm
on a european tour event. i woke iwoke up i woke up in the accident, paralysed completely from the neck down. i couldn't move anything. hello there, and welcome along to sportsday. the australian open, the first tennis major of the year, is under way, with emma raducanu putting her injury scares in the build—up to one side to set up a tantalising encounter in her second round with coco gauff. there were no troubles for cameron norrie either. but there's no nick kyrgios this year, with questions over the fitness of the returning novak djokovic. bbc commentator annabel croft joined me in the studio earlier. jack draper is only 21 and remember he was ranked about 262 at the start of last year and his ranking is now
6:33 pm
38 about. he has a lot of weapons. he has got a massive lefty serve, big forehand strike, can come forward and volley at the net and there was a lot to admire and he took the second set and was really stressing rafael nadal but their body broke down, he got cramp and had the trainer out and had some abdominal problems as well and by the end there was nothing left in the end there was nothing left in the tank. he said he left it all out there but once again, i think it showsjust how dangerous there but once again, i think it shows just how dangerous an opponent he is and he's got a great future ahead. ~ , ,., , he is and he's got a great future ahead. ~ ,,., , ., ahead. absolutely right, emma raducanu coming _ ahead. absolutely right, emma raducanu coming through - ahead. absolutely right, emma raducanu coming through her i raducanu coming through her first—round match and a tough opponent in the next run for her. absolutely, coco gals in the next round but i think she's really up for it, the pressure is off, to be honest, coco gauff has had a fantastic last 12 months and many people's pic to potentially go on and win the title but when you have got someone who has been in a grand slam final, coco gauff at the french last year, up against a former grand slam champion, emma raducanu, that will always be spicy with a lot of players and coaches and everyone
6:34 pm
keeping an eye on it. it is great emma raducanu got through her first—round after a lot of questions about her the ankle injury she sustained, didn't have the perfect preparation but she is such a talent and it was a bit of a slow start today but once she got motoring she was fantastic, i thought. really looking forward to the second round. harriet dart and cameron norrie also in action today. harriet dart and cameron norrie also in action today-— in action today. harriet dart had a very tough — in action today. harriet dart had a very tough match, _ in action today. harriet dart had a very tough match, a _ in action today. harriet dart had a very tough match, a tough - in action today. harriet dart had a very tough match, a tough draw l very tough match, a tough draw against teichmann, even though she had beaten her on grass, i think it was at eastbourne last year, teichmann is a very experienced player who has won titles on tour and she is a tricky lefty, very fast. that was a very tough draw and the kyle edmund, also actually againstjannik sinner and as we know, kyle edmund has had three knee surgeries in 21 months and not an enormous amount of tennis butjust to be able to be out there on the tour again for to be able to be out there on the touragainfor him to be able to be out there on the tour again for him is a huge plus. cameron norrie, well, i think a good win for him, up against a young
6:35 pm
18—year—old french player who had a wild card, struggled a bit in the first set but when he got motoring he really stormed through and with him, semifinalist at wimbledon last year, he is hungry to go further in grand slams. he is so physically fit, a very tough playerfor anyone in the door to face him at the moment. in the door to face him at the moment-— in the door to face him at the moment. �* ., , ,., ., , in the door to face him at the moment. �* ., , ., , ., moment. another person who is not auoin to moment. another person who is not going to feature _ moment. another person who is not going to feature at _ moment. another person who is not going to feature at this _ moment. another person who is not going to feature at this year's - going to feature at this year's tournament is nick kyrgios, the home favourite, pulling out for what he saysis favourite, pulling out for what he says is his body giving up on him, if you like, not doing what he wants it to do. �* ., if you like, not doing what he wants it to do. �* . w ., it to do. after what he achieved at wimbledon. _ it to do. after what he achieved at wimbledon. i— it to do. after what he achieved at wimbledon, ifeel_ it to do. after what he achieved at wimbledon, i feel he's _ it to do. after what he achieved at wimbledon, i feel he's more - wimbledon, ifeel he's more comfortable in his own skin these days and has been embracing a bit more of the pressure and the lifestyle of being a professional tennis player, has been in a new documentary series as well of course. there is a lot of hype around him and being an australian, i think a lot of fans were excited to see him, notjust the australian fans but around the world as well. it is a bit disappointing. he pulled out of the two warm up events so we were not quite sure where he was at but i understand it is a cyst on his
6:36 pm
knee with some meniscus problems in there as well. he says he will be back, he says playing doubles with djokovic at indian wells and if that happens, it would be good fun but to let's hope he gets fit again. annabel croft there. england's new rugby union head coach steve borthwick has announced his squad for next month's six nations, owen farrell is going back as captain. and eddiejones is coming back as the coach of one of their rivals. chrisjones has more. a, lot rivals. chris jones has more. a lot ofthe rivals. chris jones has more. a lot of the talk — rivals. chris jones has more. a lot of the talk at _ rivals. chris jones has more. a lot of the talk at twickenham - rivals. chrisjones has more. int of the talk at twickenham this morning about eddiejones�* morning about eddie jones' sensational morning about eddiejones�* sensational return to rugby union with australia potentially meeting steve borthwick�*s england in the world cup quarterfinal spot for borthwick, the focus is on the here and now, 19 days is how long he has got left before he coaches england against scotland at twickenham and he has named his 36 man squad. some old faces back in, like experienced pf°p old faces back in, like experienced prop dan cole, ben earl and elliot daly and some eddiejones regulars,
6:37 pm
billy vunipola, jack nowell and jonny may, left out. some new faces as well, most notably fence miss, the fly—half from northampton, and owen farrell captaining the side, who is available for the scotland clash, a bit controversially but was borthwick tempted to start a new era with a new leader? not at all, according to the new head coach. i think it is important to recognise everything owen farrell does for english — everything owen farrell does for english rugby and has done for english — english rugby and has done for english rugby and has done for english rugby and has done for english rugby and anybody who knows him knows _ english rugby and anybody who knows him knows that he will work his socks _ him knows that he will work his socks off — him knows that he will work his socks off to get it right, whether it is goal— socks off to get it right, whether it is goal kicking, tackling, leadership, he will work his socks off to _ leadership, he will work his socks off to get — leadership, he will work his socks off to get things right. on friday last week, i was told and informed unequivocally by the rfu legal department that he is available for selection _ department that he is available for selection for the start of the six nations — selection for the start of the six nations. from my perspective, i selection for the start of the six nations. from my perspective, lam the head _ nations. from my perspective, lam the head coach of the england team and my— the head coach of the england team and myioh — the head coach of the england team and myjob is to select and coach the players — and myjob is to select and coach the players that are available to me. the players that are available to me the — the players that are available to me. the disciplinary process is completely independent and we don't

6:39 pm
fashion, right? you lose one position and jump straight back into another. how exciting is this now? if i was netflix, honestly, i would be following the build—up to this year and making an unbelievable tv series. it is almost like the stars are aligning, england and australia the last eight, eddiejones again steve borthwick, fantastic. you know what any�*s record is like for reaching world cups and how quickly he can turn things around with teams. you know, it is going to be knitting one. no doubt he will get australia up to their full potential —— it is going to be an interesting one. all eyes on steve borthwick to see what he can do with this england team. ~ . ., , ., see what he can do with this england team. ~ _, , ., ., team. when it comes to what eddie jones can still— team. when it comes to what eddie jones can still deliver _ team. when it comes to what eddie jones can still deliver at _ team. when it comes to what eddie jones can still deliver at the - team. when it comes to what eddie jones can still deliver at the top - jones can still deliver at the top level as a coach, as you say, he's been there and done it before, he has done his time and it did not end that well within bed so what more does he have left you offer for a top nation?— does he have left you offer for a to nation? , ., top nation? yes, it did not end well for him which _ top nation? yes, it did not end well for him which does _ top nation? yes, it did not end well for him which does not _ top nation? yes, it did not end well for him which does not been - for him which does not been overnight he has become a bad coach.
6:40 pm
he has lost a lack of knowledge. if anything, he has probably gained from the experience, gained from working with this particular england group. unfortunately, a run must come to an end at some point. he is england's most successful coach, let's not forget. albeit it ended pretty sourly. and he is in a new position now. but he is still a fantastic coach. he has his methods which are a bit like marmite, you either like them or you don't. but one thing he is good at is getting a group of lads together and getting you all on the same journey and delivering a winning infrastructure and unfortunately, you know, and the backend of england, the past 12 months it did not quite work out for him however, istill months it did not quite work out for him however, i still believe he will be a fantastic addition to australia. look, although my experiences working under eddie work at relatively short, i still manage to see what he did with england and the success he had with england, the
6:41 pm
methods, like i say, are questionable at times. i have seen a couple of messages from the australian lads, saying the australian lads, saying the australian team are not going to know what is it them and i can completely align with that. you know, he's going to go in there and ruffle feathers. it is an exciting time now for australia. i think the methods that he will implement will only be of benefit to them. like i said, england and australia, very, vitally much come world cup time. luther burrell, there. merseyside police say no threats or incidents were reported to them ahead of everton's home premier league game with southampton on saturday. fans had planned to protest against the club board after the final whistle, but before kick—off, everton released a statement saying that directors had been told to stay away from the game, due to a credible threat to their safety identified by security advisors. frank lampard's side lost the match 2—1. liverpool managerjurgen klopp says he doesn't think this transfer window is the right time to strengthen his squad, despite his team's poorform. they were beaten 3—0
6:42 pm
by brighton at the weekend, and are currently ninth in the premier league table, but klopp thinks his current players can improve things. so if the solutions for us will be out there, available and doable and stuff like this, of course, we would bring in players to help. but we have an existing squad as well and we are underperforming, definitely, i know that. we have to strengthen, oh, yes, but is this the right moment for it, to do it? i can't see it because of the situation we are in. i think, it because of the situation we are in. ithink, i know exactly it because of the situation we are in. i think, i know exactly how the situation is and that's it, pretty much. i can't change the answer every week. the chairman of the efl says it is absolutely fundamental a new, independent regulator has the power to impose a financial settlement for english football. rick parry has told our sports editor dan roan he's held positive talks with the premier league and the football association

6:44 pm

6:45 pm
let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today... the shakhtar donetsk president has pledged to donate £22 million to the ukranian war effort following the transfer of their winger mykhailo mudryk to chelsea. the 22—year—old was at stamford bridge yesterday having signed a deal worth up to £89 million. every olympic games up to and including the 2032 summer games will continue to be shown free to air across the bbc. the bbc will offer live and on—demand coverage of both summer and winter editions of the games on tv, radio, online and digital platforms. and it was a tense wild card weekend in the nfl. the cincinnati bengals among the teams to secure their spot in the next round of the playoffs, courtesy of an incredible 98—yard return by sam hubbard in the fourth quarter, to edge a tight match with the baltimore ravens. england's men are into the knockouts of the hockey world cup after securing a tense draw with india, the host nation. the point leaves england top of their pool with spain
6:46 pm
to come this week. pool winners go straight to the quarterfinals. stuart rushmere came on as a sub in that match, which finished 0—0, and feels the team are on a roll. we weren't in it to win it, to be honest. that is why i say there was a bit of disappointment because we felt we definitely created enough to maybe come away with a result. coming away with a point is still definitely a good performance for us. �* , ., definitely a good performance for us. �* y ., . definitely a good performance for us. �* ., ., ., definitely a good performance for us. and you are going through to the knockouts and _ us. and you are going through to the knockouts and the _ us. and you are going through to the knockouts and the next _ us. and you are going through to the knockouts and the next stage - us. and you are going through to the knockouts and the next stage of - us. and you are going through to the knockouts and the next stage of the | knockouts and the next stage of the tournament. is this something you had your eye on before because england have done well in the world cup in recent years but third in the commonwealth games, is success at this something you are really looking forward to? definitely, definitely- _ looking forward to? definitely, definitely. yeah, _ looking forward to? definitely, definitely. yeah, i— looking forward to? definitely, definitely. yeah, ithink- looking forward to? definitely, definitely. yeah, i think of - looking forward to? definitely, definitely. yeah, i think of the | definitely. yeah, i think of the back of a positive commonwealth games in the summer, yeah, we are just looking forward to the knockouts and looking forward to doing our best, making the podium is

6:48 pm
favourite. at first, it looks like the welshman would prove him right, as he got off to a sensational start, claiming the opening frame with a century. but neither were able to impose themselves on a match that ebbed and flowed from big breaks to mistakes, that saw the lead change hands several times. as the tension rose between the two, the tension rose between the two, the pretty snooker dried up. both were guilty of missing good chances, and one frame dragged on for almost and one frame dragged on for almost an hour. after that, to the delight of the fans, williams recorded his third century of the match. but instead of sending him towards victory, itjust spurred trump on. he capitalised on his opponent's errors and as the finish came within sight, the englishman started to enjoy himself. he whipped the crowd up enjoy himself. he whipped the crowd up and finished with a flourish. should have been out first round and second round, should have lost this one, so... i look like a cat!
6:49 pm
honestly, it is easy to say but the way i played this week, not my best, this is my best ever performance to grind it out to win this.— this is my best ever performance to grind it out to win this. when trump won this title _ grind it out to win this. when trump won this title four— grind it out to win this. when trump won this title four years _ grind it out to win this. when trump won this title four years ago, - grind it out to win this. when trump won this title four years ago, it - won this title four years ago, it was a springboard to becoming world champion. he will be hoping it proves to be another career defining win. superb win. to some history for britain's bobsleigh team now. the men's four—man team upset the odds at the world cup event in germany to deny the germans victory on their home circuit for first time in 17 years. the golds for brad hall, taylor lawrence, arran gulliver and greg cackett brought gb�*s second in the event this season. the boysjoined me earlier, and said how satisfying the victory was. the last few years at this track, we have done particularly well. we came into this week just have done particularly well. we came into this weekjust hoping to improve on what we had done before and hopefully put in a few solid performances and then during the week, we saw that we have had quite a lot of speed in training. we were

big toe, my right leg was the first thing that i could move and ijust went crazy as it was like a move it because i thought, it is a glimmer of hope. the surgeon had told me, you are probably never going to walk again, this is probably what you are going to be like for the rest of your life. so as soon as i had that, i sort of climb onto that is a bit of hope. and then it was movement upwards for another two and a half months and slowly, more and more started to come back on my right side and then my left side, slowly but not as much on my left side has come back unfortunately. but it is what it is. and then, yeah, here i am, walking around and... can't believe it. so this is the strap are used to help me play. it is a training aid, clips on any normal club, stick it on there, flip it over, and then ijust put my hand on the club, wrap it round and then grip like a normal club. the surgeon
